Sda hymnal 79 O Love of God How Strong and True!

Verse 1:O love of God, how strong and true!Eternal, and yet ever new;Uncomprehended and unbought,Beyond all knowledge and all thought.Verse 2:O love of God, how deep and great,Far deeper than man’s deepest hate;Self-fed, self-kindled like the light,Changeless, eternal, infinite.Verse 3:We read thee best in Him who cameTo bear for us the cross of shame;Sent by the Father from on high,Our life to live, our death to die. Verse 4:We read thy power to bless and save,E’en in the darkness of the grave;Still more in resurrection lightWe read the fullness of thy might.Verse 5:O love of God, our shield and stayThrough all the perils of our way!Eternal love, in thee we rest,Forever safe, forever blest.
